Summary

Silverton Elementary is a PK–6 school at 7451 Montgomery Rd in Cincinnati, OH, serving 303 students as part of Cincinnati Public Schools, a district ranked 609th of 773 districts statewide (21st percentile, 1 star). The school itself ranked 1013th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025‑26, and its 12:1 student‑teacher ratio is the lowest in this comparison set. Two caveats: free/reduced‑lunch rates are suppressed for Silverton and its CPS peers, and the reported $9,732 per‑student spend dates to 2018‑19.

Silverton is in a clear multi‑year upswing. After seven reported years in an 18th–24th percentile band, it has improved five straight years, moving from the 21st to the 35th percentile and earning 2 stars in each of the last two years after a decade at 1 star. Chronic absenteeism fell from 47.4% to 31.5% — a 15.9‑point drop versus the district's 8.4 points — the second‑lowest rate among CPS schools here, behind Pleasant Ridge Montessori School. The school beats its district on 8 of 9 assessments (about 53% proficient vs. 47% for CPS) but trails Ohio (about 62%) on all nine, with the widest gaps in 5th and 6th grade math. It also ranks in the 82nd percentile statewide for its effectiveness with African American students and jumped from the 19th to the 72nd percentile for special education students in two years.

Nearby Amity Elementary School, in Deer Park Community City just 0.89 miles away, serves a reported 48.15% low‑income population with 15.4% chronic absenteeism, yet ranks 58th percentile (3 stars) with far higher 2025‑26 results (Math 3: 87.3 vs. 52.5; ELA 3: 82.8 vs. 55.0) — while spending less ($9,068) and running a higher 14.8:1 ratio. Affluent‑district schools like Blue Ash Elementary, Madeira Elementary School, and Indian Hill Elementary School sit in the 90s percentiles with absenteeism under 5%, but serve very different populations. Bottom line: steady improvement, standout results for African American and special education students, and an unusually low 12:1 ratio, but still bottom‑third statewide and weakest in upper‑grade math.
